Tensions erupted at an airport in Milan, Italy, when a 28-year-old man entered the check-in area and began causing damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Footage shows the man using a hammer to smash digital information screens as a fire began spreading near the check-in counters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man allegedly sprayed a flammable liquid on a counter and a trash container before setting them on fire. The resulting smoke caused panic and prompted a partial evacuation of the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amid the chaos, a passenger grabbed a fire extinguisher and confronted the man. After spraying him, the passenger managed to knock him down, while others helped restrain him until airport police arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Italian authorities identified the suspect as a Malian citizen who legally resides in Italy under subsidiary protection. He reportedly had no previous criminal record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
